Be afraid not to try.

Thank you, Ryan Adams.

I’m almost a week late on this, but better late than never I suppose.

Explosions was, as expected, absolutely amazing. The songs they played, in no particular order (because I can’t remember) are:

• First Breath After Coma
• Your Hand In Mine
• A Poor Man’s Memory
• Yasmin The Light
• The Moon Is Down
• The Only Moment We Were Alone
• Six Days At The Bottom Of The Ocean
• With Tired Eyes, Tired Minds, Tired Souls, We Slept

There were also at least two songs that I didn’t recognize, which either means they’re new or from their Friday Night Lights Soundtrack.

If you are interested, there are a few pictures on my Flickr.

In other Explosions news, they recently announced their new album, All of a Sudden, I Miss Everyone, will be released on February 20, 2007, after which they will begin touring again. The album art has also been released.

Update: Stream the new track: Welcome, Ghosts

I’m all over the place with shows these days, it seems. I made a weekend trip up to San Francisco to see mewithoutYou this last weekend (a few pictures on my Flickr account).

Next Monday I’ll be trekking down to Pomona to see Explosions In The Sky at The Glass House.

A few weeks later I’ll be making the same trip to see The Faint.

Expect pictures from those shows when the time comes.
